I've heard Flagstaff is pretty cool but like much of the southwest it's stricken by poverty and no employment opportunities and also it's in Arizona still kinda wanna check it out though

The South Thread said Texas isn't part of the south and this thread says Texas isn't part of the Southwest I guess Texas is just too much state to fit into any geographic cliqué

Everything west of the Pecos is part of the Southwest and should belong to New Mexico. That said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a50gPRSi3Ic

Wupatki National Monument and Sunset Crater National Monument near Flagstaff, the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, Montezuma's Well, the Verde Valley Archaeology Center and Walnut Canyon National Monument. If you have time V-V Heritage site is also pretty cool and there is some great scenery on the Mogollon Rim out west on the I-40 by Williams. Tuzigoot National Monument in Clarkdale and Petrified Forest National Park out by Holbrook are also worth it. Holbrook itself is terrible though, so yeah.

There is no way that the parts bordering Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma are Southwest, geographically or culturally. I'll cede maybe to Amarillo, but the rest of Texas is like, 3 other things. That stupid state has at least five distinct cultures.

The central-south cooridor has most of the people. East texas is basically louisiana and I would be OK if the map were redrawn to remove that pit from the state, and the western portion, which is large and empty admit, is all southwest. The panhandle doens't count. Who gives a poo poo. Give it to another state. gently caress the panhandle.

Texans and Californians have a very similar type of brain damage that makes them think they have cuisine and that their respective pass times should be considered culture instead of just like what pigs do together when they're in a pen.

Excellent, because I have this thing about Santa Elena Canyon, which I'm sure fits into the spirit of your SW definition. I really want to go there and would not mind hearing from anyone who has been.

On the topic of Conquistadors... Juan de Oñate's inscription at El Morro that he made as he traveled north to found Santa Fe, and thus New Mexico in 1605. Don Diego de Vargas' inscription he made in 1692 while re-conquering the territory after the Pueblo Revolt. There are also unconfirmed reports that Coronado left an inscription somewhere on El Morro, but the NPS has never been able to find it. The oldest known non-Pueblo inscription is Juan de Oñate's.
